I hate anime fans.
I rarely interact with the community, but if you send a friend request I'll likely accept (PMing a reason also helps). Feel free to recommend me anime/manga or ask for a recommendation.
I mostly read manga at this point, so most reviews will be about those.
All Favorite Rankings are from Left to Right. After some thought, I've decided to disclude protagonists in my favorite anime/manga from my favorite characters listing. If I love one of those, I probably like the main character.
Since my rating system is slightly different than MAL's descriptive words, here's a summary:
10- Masterpiece. Not necessarily perfect, but so idealistically and structurally unified on every front that the experience feels entirely memorable and beautiful.
9- Excellent. Maybe lacking in some way, like themes or art, but a truly worthwhile piece of art nonetheless.
8- Great. Something I really enjoyed for the most part. Maybe one part was bad, maybe the plot isn't great, something's holding it back.
7- Pretty Good. If I give something a 7/10, I may or may not want to reread it. Stories here are usually enjoyable but lacking in any deeper level to appreciate, whether that be characters or presentation or themes.
6- Solid. Better than it is worse. I like it, but i probably wouldn't read it again.
5- Mediocre. Worse than it is better. Absolute average is in between 5 and 6, so an average series could go either way.
4- Bad. Has one or two elements that are good, but it's mostly either poorly executed or very uninspired.
3- Awful. I have little investment in the characters, the story isn't thought out, art could maybe be good but not necessarily in a way that properly enhances the story.
2- Horrible. Something where pretty much everything is bad, art, characters, story, etc... However, it may be comprehensible or have passion.
1- Atrocious. Genuinely the worst in every way, usually funny or sad in how bad it is, as if few people working on it even cared.
This is a tentative description. Some series have peaks and valleys, some have a lot of character depth but have a bad plot, etc...

I'd say the main problem with 2018 Baki-dou is the disjoined (or perhaps lacking) central theme to it, I wouldn't even consider the american-bashing as some greater reason why this particular part was bad. So yeah it kinda lacked its own idea.
While we disagree, I do appreciate the lenghty response.
Take Yuujiro's deal with America for example - narratively it makes sense as since USA is the country with the strongest military, you'd have Yuujiro shown dominating that country as the ultimate display of might.
Rather than a slant, when the story says the characters are the strongest, it makes natural sense to show them beating what the world considered to be the strongest.
Also, your reviews are really good. I felt the exact same way about Dorohedoro. Maybe you should try making videos lol.
I'd say something like Capeta would be greatly appreciated!
